Mårbacka Mansion II - a photo on Flickriver

Selma Lagerlöf (1858-1940), one of the best known authors in the world, was born and grew up at Mårbacka. She was the first female writer to win the Nobel Prize in Literature (in 1909).
A visit in 1900 to the American Colony in Jerusalem became the inspiration for Lagerlöf's book by that name.
In 1902, Lagerlöf was asked by the National Teachers' Association to write a geography book for children. She wrote Nils Holgerssons underbara resa genom Sverige (The Wonderful Adventures of Nils), a novel about a boy from the southernmost part of Sweden, who had been shrunk to the size of a thumb and who travelled on the back of a goose across the country. The novel is one of Lagerlöf's most well-known books, and it has been translated into more than 30 languages.

The original one-story timber house from 1796 was thoroughly remodeled in 1921–1923. The mansion was designed by architect Isac Gustaf Clason. The mansion, the surrounding buildings and the park is now open to the public.
